Dear Steven

Thank you for consulting DDDC Environmental Health, regarding the above application.

I do not have any objections in principle to this application. However, due to the nature of the proposed use of the unit, there is the potential for a noise nuisance to exist, due to the levels and duration of noise from dogs barking from the unit.

I note that the applicant has stated that the number of dogs to be accommodated in the premises at any one time will not exceed 14. It is anticipated that there shall be sufficient staff on site at all times to ensure that dogs are controlled and not permitted to cause a noise nuisance.

As the unit is on an existing industrial business centre, it is evident that several potentially noisy businesses already exist on the site. However, as far as I am aware, we have not received any noise complaints regarding noise from any of these businesses. The location of unit 5 is some distance from the nearest noise sensitive residential premises. As such, I would not suggest that there was an inevitable risk of noise nuisance from dogs barking from within the unit, effecting nearby residential premises. I would anticipate that the existing unit incorporates various noise attenuation measures within the structure of the building, however, should further attenuation be required, this should be relatively easy to incorporate.

However, should the application be approved and the unit is used for providing dog day care facilities, any subsequent noise complaints shall be dealt with under the Council’s standard noise complaint procedures and the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

I trust this information is helpful.

Kind regards
